4 Pretty STEADY Diet,

Talking about things to eat" said
Il passenger from the East, "let me tell
YOU of an experience l had once. Five
or SIX years ago | took passage on q
chpper-slip from Baltimore to Bremen.
! was the only passenger, and of course
had to dine with the captain and the
mate. The fare at first was simple but
endurable. The third day out the cap
tain called the cook in. Cook, said
ne, with an oath, why haven't you had
any Irish stews?' Cause / didn't
know you wanted 'em, replied the
cook. But l do want 'em, the cap
tain went on, with another oath and
I'm going to have 'em. want an Irish
stew ON the table every meal the rest OF
this voyage-d'ye hear? Irish stew
every meal.
"And Irish stew it was. We had
stew for breakfast, for dinner, for sup
per For a day or two it was well
enough. Al the end of week | was
tired of stew. At the end of two weeks
| loathed it. At the end of the third
week the very sight of it gagged me.
Once | ventured to hint to the captain
that l would like a change, but the
cursing got-he was terrible man

Reporfed Cure forLeprOSy.

The CathoEc Mssjo,ts, German
monthly publication, publishes a let
ter from Father Damian, the mission
airy priest in the leprosy settlement at
Nolokai, which contains the following
passage:
For about twenty years our most dis
tinglished physicians tried every posi-
bile means to master this dreadful dis
ease; but all their efforts failed TO
check the spread of the distemper.
About three years ago a white man was
seized withleprosy. BeiDgvery wealthy
he preferred to go to Japan rather
than to submit to lifelong exile in Mo-
lokai. In Japan he continued for
two years a course of hydrOpa-
thic treatment under DR. GOto
He returned hither accompanied by
son of DR.. Goto, with every ap-
pcarance of a perfect cure. About
the end of last year the Health Com
mittee resolved TO introduce, under the
supervision of DIR. GOto, the japanese
treatment into the leper hospital, which
is in the charge Of Franciscan Sisters
at Kakaako, near Honolulu. Already
then / felt inclined to go to Honolulu
TO consult DIR. Goto about the disease,
which had already made havoc with
one of my cars. At this time, how
ever, my supcriors did not consider the
step advisable. Last July, however,
had occasion to personally satisfy my
self Of the success which had attended
the treatment in question in the hos
pital of the Sisters at Kakaako, and
10 carefully observe its method, which
consists in this: Every day the
lepcr has to take two baths in hot wa
ter in which n certain quantity Of Japa-
nCsc medicine has been dissolved. After
every mcal he has TO take a small pill, and
an hour later an ounce of tea prepared
from the bark of japanese tree. This
is the whole treatment. Both yOun9
DR.. Goto and the white patient, OF
whom | made mention above, have as
surcd me that III Japan many a leper
has been completely cured by this treat
mcnt. Whatever truth there BE- in this
statement, | must own that the i'm
proyement during these six month in
the condition of many lepers, whose
illness was already in very developed
state, has been simply marvellous. l
think myself, therefore, iustifedin see
ing i'll this treatment glimmer of hope
for our poor outcast lepers of Molokai
King Kalakaua and his prime minister
honored me with visit during my
short stay at Kakaako, near Honolulu.
They told me it was their intention to
introduce the same system of treatment
in our great leper settlement. | look
forward with satisfaction to the day on
which We shall receive a steam boiler
which may heat about fifteen bath
tubs at the same time. Fora few weeks
| have undergone the treatment in ques-
ton. At the same time | commenced
the treatment with about forty 70 fifty
of my orphan children. We have al
ready derived some benefit from it. Ny
work seems lighter and my strength is
returning. Last Sunday, for instance,
1 said two masses and preached during
each without being obliged to sit down
and without feeling particularly wea-
ried.

There is a suit now pending in the
courts of Montgomery county which
had a rather singular origin. The par
ties live in the upper end of the coun-
ty, and the plaintiff, having sold some
goods to the defendant, went TO the
house Of the latter to collect the bill.
The two men sat in one room, and III
the adjoining room were the wife of the
defendant and pet parrot. The men
disputed over the bill, became angry,
and raised their voices. The parrot
hearing the noise became excited, and
cried: "Kick him out kick him out
kick him Quit" The plaintiff did not
know that there was such bird about
and thought it was the wife of the de.
fendant who advised an assault and bat
terry on him. He sprang up in a rage,
declared that he would go without wait
ing to be kicked, and was on the way
10 the Office of justice of the peace
before any explanation could be offered.
The suit was promptly brought, and
comes into court on appeal.

LITERARY NOTES.

It is said that Mrs. Burnett is writing a Sc
qucl to her Little Lord Fauntleroy.'
Father Lambert, who wrote ''Notes on
InScrsoll," has new book in press, Tactics
OF Infidcls."
E.sp. Roc, whom some good people pro-
nounce the greatest literary genius Of the ace,
is working eight hours or more every day III
his home at Santa Barbara, Cal.
Amiel, in writing of Renair, says that with
him ''science is his material rather than his
sobject; his object is style. A fine passage is
ten times more precious in his eyes than the
discovery of a fact or the ratification of a
date" This same criticism applies directly
to Mr. Saltus, who is also firm believer i'll
the relatively Of knowledge, and never thinks
it necessary to prove any OF his statements.
In tho April number of The Atlanti,
Monthly there will be a paper entitled "A
Suppressed Chapter of History by Edmund
Eirsc, an account of a diplomat, mission
made to Richmond early in the war; at the
suggestion, or at least with the taet consent
Of President Lincoln. Tho object of tlin.nlis-
sion was TO arrange with Jefferson Davis
terms for the purchase of the slaves by the
Federal government, but Mr. Davis declined
to entertain the project. Not Icing after Mr.
kirko wrote out tho first part of the nara
tive capitalization in The Atlantic, and proof
sheets of it were submitted to Mr.. Lincoln
WHO expressed desire that the article should
ret be published. 1t was therefore Cancelled
and until now no account of the affair has
been put in print.
